Creating a QuickPatch Project and Applying QuickPatch Packages

InstallShield 2019 Express Edition

Project • This information applies to QuickPatch projects.

A QuickPatch project is recommended for installation authors who want to ship small, single upgrades to their users. QuickPatch authoring provides a simple alternative to creating a patch in the Patch Design view, even though it provides less customization. Fundamentally, both patch creation methods produce the same deliverable types: .msp and .exe files.

To create a QuickPatch project for an existing .msi file or an already existing QuickPatch, use the Create New QuickPatch Wizard. Completing the wizard ensures that all basic requirements for the QuickPatch project are met.
